Distribution of the total number of the low-income population by main indicators, 2018–2021
Various categories are identified within the low-income population, and these statistics show their distribution across major groups. Rows differentiate between urban and rural residents and specify income thresholds, such as less than 50.0 percent of the subsistence minimum. Data is based on income and social program participation sample surveys for the period from 2018 to 2021; all values are in percent
- in urban settlements — in rural settlements – total — Extremely poor population
- in urban localities — in rural localities – total — low‑income population
- in urban settlements – total — Low‑income population
- in rural localities — Children aged up to 16 years: — low‑income population
- in urban localities – total — extremely poor population
- in rural settlements — 201 – 1000 — Extremely poor population
- in rural settlements — 1001 – 5000 — Extremely poor population

How to read this table
Differences between rows allow for comparison between urban and rural areas and an assessment of the share of those living near the poverty line with minimal income. The changing proportions of various groups within the low-income population over the four-year period can be tracked. For analysis, it is important to consider the breakdown by type of settlement to understand the difference in living standards between urban and rural populations during these years
What is visible in these numbers
Top five values: in urban settlements — in rural settlements (71.2), in urban settlements — in rural settlements (53.4), in urban settlements — total — low-income population (48.6), in rural settlements — children aged (41), in urban settlements — total — extremely poor population (40.8). The gap between the highest and lowest is 27.4 times. The top five account for 51.5% of the total sum across all items — the distribution is heavily skewed toward the top
Observations are annual, the dataset contains 4 periods. Of 100 possible values, 100 (100%) are filled; data gaps are virtually absent
